one of my mom's best friends is a woman named marsena who is 101. just now is in a nursing facility and my mom is her advocate. just last week had someone written up for "harsh" treatment that made marsena cry, for no good reason. it is necessary to have an advocate at these facilities, no matter how awesome they are. marsena would be living on her own if it wasn't for a bad burn to her leg last november due to soaking her feet in too hot epson salts, etc.

So true. I've seen some of it myself.

My old pal Lawrence. I met him while working on an old house next door to where he lived. He was 95 yo at that time and was amazing. I took this pic on his 97th birthday. He was a walking history book and a most disarming creature. He always swore to me he would live to be 100, and he did, passing at 100yrs 8 mos. in '05. I have so many interesting memories of him. I loved and miss him very much. {#Good-vibes}

cool.
